Sense（1）

The act of conveying from one place to another; the act of transferring or the fact of being transferred.

Sense（2）

Furthermore, although probably few analysts still believe

that transference occurs only in the context of the psycho-

analytic situation, many hold that this phenomenon pertains

only to object relationships. I submit, however, that the char-

acteristic features of transference can be observed in other

situations as well, especially in the area of learned skills.⁶

Thus, speaking a language with a foreign accent is one of the

most striking everyday examples of transference. In the tradi-

tional concept of transference, one person (the analysand)

behaves toward another (the analyst) as if the latter were

someone else, previously familiar to him; and the subject is

usually unaware of the actual manifestations of his own trans-

ferred behavior. In exactly the same way, persons who speak

English (or any other language) with a foreign accent treat

English as if it were their mother tongue; and they are usually

unaware of the actual manifestations of their transferred be-

havior. Such persons think of themselves as speaking unac-

cented English: they cannot hear their own distortions of the

language when they speak. Only when their accent is pointed

out to them, or, better, only when they hear their recorded

voices played back to them, do they recognize their linguistic

transferences. These are striking parallels not only between

the stereotyped behavioral acts due to previous habit, but also

between the necessity for auxiliary channels of information

outside the person's own self for recognizing the effects of

these habits. This view of transference rests on empirical

observations concerning the basic human tendency to general-

ize experiences.^＊
